I once dated a weatherman At first he had a sunny outlook… He had our future all mapped out But he suffered periods of deep depression so our relationship got rained off I once dated an optician He said he could see our future was together But soon I stopped wearing rose tinted glasses ... He was always smashed and making a spectacle of himself I once dated a librarian He claimed he was an open book But I couldn’t cope with the periods of intense silence So the writing was on the wall and I threw the book at him I once dated a farmer He ploughed straight into our relationship But I discovered he was a muck spreader And when he started playing the field I ditched him I once dated a baker He was very upper crust and well bred But he couldn’t get his dough to rise So I toasted his future and said goodbye I once dated a hairdresser He was very trim and didn’t have a hair out of place But he was always making cutting comments So I cut the relationship short I once dated a doctor He had a wonderful bedside manner and he made my temperature rise But he became very cold and started injecting poison I lost my ‘patient’s’ and got sick of him so I gave him the cold shoulder I once dated a barman He wore very attractive glasses But he was always on the pull So I gave him sort measures and 'called time' on our relationship I once dated a retired policeman He was an arresting sight But when he took down his particulars His truncheon was all floppy – so I bailed out N/A in Just make me laugh Contest judged on 08/30/16 Submitted to take the dagger from my heart please contest Sponsored by Broken Wings 27th August 2016
